The Department of English faculty and students would like to congratulate Professor Amina Gauiter on her receipt of a William Randolph Hearst Foundation Fellowship from the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) in Worcester, Mass. The AAS is one of the nation’s foremost research libraries for American history, literature, and culture through 1876. The Hearst Foundation Fellowship provides support for writers, performers, and artists to do research for their creative projects in the AAS’s collections. Professor Gautier is currently at the AAS conducting research on a historical work, Band of Gideon, about three black female members of Gideon’s Band, a group of Northern idealist seminary students, school teachers, and abolitionists who traveled south to help slaves on the South Carolina Sea Islands.
